Summary

Wickliffe Lower School is a PK–6 elementary school serving 642 students in Wickliffe, Ohio, a suburb east of Cleveland, and it is part of the Wickliffe City district. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 840th of 1,560 Ohio schools — the 46th percentile, or 2 stars. That is a stronger position than its own district, which ranks in the 33rd percentile, and higher than every nearby school listed here: Chardon Hills Elementary School (44th), Edison Elementary School (43rd), Longfellow Elementary School (39th), Royalview Elementary School (33rd) and Richmond Heights Elementary School (27th). The school was generally a 3-star, 55th–64th percentile school from 2016–2017 through 2021–2022, slipped to the 36th percentile in 2023–2024, and has since recovered to 46th — a real but partial rebound.

Results vary a lot by grade. Third grade math (74.5 vs. a state average of 62.1), fourth grade math (83.3 vs. 67.3), fourth grade ELA (67.9 vs. 61.8) and sixth grade math (60.3 vs. 56.2) are all above state levels and generally the best among nearby schools. Fifth grade is the clear weak spot: math 34.1 vs. 59.1, science 47.7 vs. 62.7, and ELA 58.1 vs. 70.4, all below state averages and trailing schools such as Chardon Hills, Edison, Royalview and sometimes Longfellow. Raising fifth grade while protecting the early-grade gains looks like the obvious next step.

Chronic absenteeism was 24.0% in 2025–2026, better than the district’s 30.5% but higher than Longfellow (19.5%), Edison (18.6%) and Royalview (17.1%). The student-teacher ratio, 23.7 in 2024–2025, is the highest among the nearby schools listed, well above Longfellow, Edison and Royalview (13.9–14.6) and above Pinnacle Academy (22.3). Free/reduced lunch rose sharply from 33.97% to 49.84% in a single year. Special education students (15th to 39th percentile) and low-income students (32nd to 45th) have improved notably, though special education students remain below average.
